They are definitely different personalities.
Mau is a bit more dominant and the one who starts the play fights. She is a bit of a jumper and can get a toy mouse that's been put onto the next to top drawer knob by jumping. Michou doesn't jump for the mouse at all. Mau seems a bit more scared of noises. She is slightly more aggressive and can bite and scratch a bit when you tickle her tummy but usually she lets you do that.
Michou is more adventurous. She had been out of the garden a couple of times now and has climbed on top of one set of fences. We have to be careful about this as she hasn't been neutered yet. Michou is more of a purrer, she starts almost as soon as you touch her. She likes to get hold of the cellophane that is outside my chewing gum boxes. She gets it in her mouth and makes horrid growling noises.
Both of them are becoming more lap friendly, but they have to choose to get onto a lap and will not stay if I put one of them on my lap.They like to explore the rooms and get into any tight spaces they find.
